What you need to know about the Golden Globes nominations 2016

Announced today by America Ferrera, Angela Bassett, Dennis Quaid and Chloë Grace Moretz, there were few surprises but it was a relief to discover that Leonardo DiCaprio has been nominated for best actor in a motion picture, drama, for his role in The Revenant.

The western survival film also picked up nominations for best original score, best director and best motion picture.

While it's not guaranteed that an Oscars nomination is also in the bag, the Golden Globes are a good indication of who could be up for an Academy Award, so fingers-crossed this will be Leo's year.

Going up against the Hollywood veteran will be Eddie Redmayne for his role in The Danish Girl. Last year, Redmayne won the gong for playing Stephen Hawkings in The Theory of Everything.

As for actresses, while there had been rumours that Jennifer Lawrence was going to miss out, she was in fact nominated for best actress in a motion picture, musical or comedy for Joy.

She'll be pleased to know that friend Amy Schumer was also given a nomination for Trainwreck.
